Edit: Blocked the author’s name, because it’s not my tumblr. I didn’t expect so many people to misinterpret it and respond in this way.

Edit 2: This is not from the same author, but it’s a reply to them. I think it might help clarify the post for those that are confused:

I normally don’t worry about usernames on tumblr, but since there’ve been some really out-of-pocket misconceptions in the thread, I don’t want anyone to harass them.

    What’s simple is concluding that Israel is committing genocide. What’s simple is arriving at the conclusion that we shouldn’t try to “both sides” this situation when one state is clearly the oppressor.

    Imagine trying to “both sides” the indigenous situation in the US and Canada, or similarly trying to “both sides” Nazi Germany in the 1930s and 40s. Trying to “both sides” North and South Korea.

    There’s clearly one state that’s been consistently in the wrong, that even celebrates its atrocities.

      Bruh, Hamas celebrated the mass rape and murder of civilians. I’m as angry at Israel’s response as the next person but you need to pull your head out of your ass if you think this is entirely one sided.

          You linking to a thread with a bunch of people condemning Hamas proves my point, not yours. And try making a real point, instead of just linking to your favourite echo chamber.

            This is not a post about Hamas. If you want to discuss Hamas, then make your own post.

              Lmao, don’t try and claim that it’s entirely 1 sided if you don’t want me to bring up Hamas then. That’s something that’s actually simple.

                I nearly reported your top comment for being grossly uncivil, but I wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt. Instead, you’ve chosen to personally attack me. Not sure what your instance is like, but that’s not acceptable here.

                I’m reporting and blocking you.

                I’ll say it once more: This is not a post about Hamas, and I’ve no interest in derailing the thread.

                Edit: Nice edit

                  When you said that the situation is entirely one sided, you opened the discussion to bringing up how it might not be, that would lead us to Hamas.

                  Don’t want to talk about Hamas, don’t bring up the Israel Palestine situation and claim that it’s entirely one sided. I blame Israel for a lot of Hamas’ current state of being, that still doesn’t make the situation entirely one sided.

                    Nice try, not taking the bait. Go find someone else if you want to fight, I refuse.
